4th and the Last Assignment of the Course: Creating an AI Integrated Teaching Material

Hello everyone, I hope you are all good!

In this post, I am going to talk to you about our last assignment of this course. For the assignment, we were supposed to work in groups and create an AI integrated teaching material for EFL high school prep students. (A2 level) As Halil, İren, Sude and me; we prepared a digital worksheet. As the content of the material, we were supposed to choose a focus (reading, listening, speaking or writing) from the UPTONE students' book volume 1. We chose our focus as writing and decided to focus on Simple Present Tense from the "School Life" unit. On the first page of our worksheet, the students watch a video about Simple Present Tense embedded in a QR code, and then they complete four fill in the blanks questions regarding Simple Present Tense. On the next page, there is a text in which there are mistakes concerning the usage of the tense, and the students are asked to underline these. On the next page, students are supposed to ask ChatGPT if they underlined the mistaken parts correctly, and it also checks if the students missed any mistaken parts in the text. ChatGPT only explain the mistakes, it does not rewrite the paragraph. It is students' duty to rewrite it according to ChatGPT's feedback. And the last page is allocated for the reflection of students regarding their experience with ChatGPT. Here, they write a report concerning their experience with it. As to the creation process, it did not take so long for us to decide on what we were going to do to prepare the worksheet. However, it took considerable time to write the ASSURE plan and prepare the digital worksheet.

I thank my friends for their efforts for the assignment.

In this paragraph, I want to talk about the feedback we received from our instructor. Firstly, our instructor told us that the worksheet should be topic-based. Secondly, it should not be grammar-focused. Third, she told us that on the first page, we could have given a speaking task to students in which they talk to their partners about the School Life theme, and then we could have asked them to write a paragraph about their school life. As to the third page, she told us that, because the students fix the grammatical errors in the paragraph, it is not a writing task. They only fix the grammatical errors and rewrite the paragraph.   

Here is the first draft of our worksheet:

Safety and Privacy in Technology Use: An Infographic

Resim
Hi everyone, our second task in the course was creating an infographic and I used Piktochart for that task and I chose the topic of "safety and privacy in technology use" among the other topics that were given by our instructor to us. At the beginning, I was a little bit anxious about how to use the website, for example; which icons to use, how to edit the template and things like that. However, after I started to do the infographic; I did not have much difficulty in understanding the interface of it so I was relaxed about the editing process of it. By the way, I want to talk about the potential benefits of creating an infographic for students, too. Think that you are going to teach a gram mar topic to your students and the topic is a little bit complicated. If you try to teach it only by writing the rules on the board, tricky points may not be well understood by the students but if you teach it with the help of an infographic, it will be easier for these tricky points to bec...

21st Century Learning and English Classrooms

21st Century Learning and English Classrooms 21st century is a century that requires many skills to be acquired to be able to keep up with the advancements in various fields in our lives and one of the most prominent of these fields is technology, but what is technology? With a simple definition, it can be said that technology is the implementation of conceptual knowledge to achieve practical goals, but especially in a reproducible way according to Wikipedia. We use technology for many purposes in our lives, but what about education? In education, both teachers and students benefit from technology extensively. Now,  let's look at the relationship between these two fields in terms of students and teachers respectively. When we look from the students' perspective, we can see that students use technology for the opportunity of learning irrespective of the place they are in. Thanks to that, students can learn new things even if they are not in the school. Then, when we look a...

Podcast Assignment

Hello everyone, our third task in the ICT course was creating a podcast, and as Arda and I, we chose to create a sound-rich story among the other options given. (Other options were creating a vox-pop or a podcast about improving the world.) We were given totally 15 words that could be used for the podcast and asked to use at least five of them. So, we used the 5 words we determined and wrote a story about a genius who witnesses a murder and goes crazy consequently. Through the editing process, we actually had fun but of course we experienced some stress, too. One of the factors in which we had difficulty was converting the file format from wpf to mp4. It was stressful for us to make the file type suitable for listening because we had to look back on the file type several times even when we thought we were sure that the file type was ok. Also, we had difficulty when we were trying to find the proper sound effects for our podcast. It was required to pay money for some of the sounds we pu...
